my family through my great grandma’s side is from tennessee and moved to texas sometime in the 1860s-70s. i dont know if i have any ancestors that were on the trail of tears, and while i did find someone on the dawes rolls with the same first and last name as my 3rd great grandma, fannie ellis, she was born in texas as well as all her kids, so the odds of it being her are insanely slim.
the majority of my maternal family that ive heard of lives in or is from texas, and some of them moved to oklahoma, including my mom.
my grandma’s 3rd great grandma was full blood cherokee and her name was dovey, but ive been unable to find her full name. she’s most likely related to me through my 2nd great grandma, anna belle odem, but ive been unable to find anything on her past being my great grandpa’s mom. she married a man named adam grittman, and i havent been able to find very much on his family either; so much as finding his parents names have proven to be difficult.
if anyone has any tips or might know anything about those people, assistance or tips would be much appreciated.
